I carved my love for you out of bone,
shaping it just right,
smoothing out the edges and
making it as perfect as possible.
As all things, it has imperfections,
tiny lumps and lines.
I want to carve my love into my bones,
on the ribcage right next to the heart
that chants your name with each beat.
Then maybe the world could see
just how much I love you.
Author notes
This still doesn't give away what it is. It means something to me, and it is my hope that you will accept the meaning, but I know that often carvings mean different things to different people.
